WORKING

Last night we did a session with House of Blondes.

Unfortunately, I was completely unprepared - I had actually thought there was going to be a Happy Boy rehearsal at Smoke and Mirrors (postponed) and that House of Blondes was happening at Skyway studio. By the time they arrived I had a splitting headache and wasn't myself.

I was able to help George get a guitar sound, set up the tracks, and send them on their way. I left early - for all I know they're still out there, tracking away, George saying "Almost..." after each take.

On a positive note, we were using the knockoff Strat thru the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, which sounded great and hummed very little, and Paul (drummer who was playing guitar on this track) played well.

Soon I'll write more about the Hot Rod Deluxe, one of the most versatile amps Fender has ever made. Everyone should own one.
